We had a lovely time with Koa and Kaiden (if I botched the spelling, I’m sorry!!). They were so knowledgeable and made the experience tons of fun. We got to see bottlenose dolphins and a sea turtle up close from the boat! The dolphins were feeling introverted when we went out, so we didn’t get to swim with them. We did get to snorkle with some big, colorful fish!! I loved how our crew paid attention to the dolphin’s behavior and the pod size to ensure we weren’t going to stress them out! They were extremely respectful to all the wildlife, which was one of the most important things to me. I was a first-time snorkeler, and there was a bit of a learning curve. The team was very patient and taught me to use the equipment on the spot, but in hindsight I wish I had done an intro snorkel in calmer, shallower waters first. When the dolphins are nearby you have to hop in the water super fast, so you don’t miss your opportunity, which can be a little overwhelming for a newbie. All in all, we had a great time! One of the highlights of our trip.

Aloha Ocean invites you to embark on a journey like no other along the picturesque Waianae coast of West Oahu. We offer a rare opportunity to snorkel safely with pelagic species like Bottlenose, Rough-tooth, and Spotted dolphins. Our tour is unique because we focus on quality over quantity. We are one of the only operating 6-passenger dolphin swim tours in Hawaii. A minimum of 4 passengers is required to operate. Our experienced crew will take you down the west coast of Oahu to view and swim with wild dolphins and other marine life. Enjoy stunning views of the coastline and the tropical waters as you relax on board our luxury powerboat. Our 30ft Robalo boat is comfortable and equipped with all the latest amenities to enhance your experience. - Snorkel for an up-close look at the wild dolphins (keeping a respectful distance) - All necessary snorkeling equipment is provided - Enjoy a more personal experience than other tours that take much larger groups

Great activity. Our group has people aged 3 to 71. We all had a great time. Kaden and Brooke were delightful…we had fun but also felt safe. Woukd definitely recommend. A couple notes: the “head” was out of order. If you go, plan it it being unavailable. Also, we booked for 5 people, one being a child. As such, we thought we might have a private sail, but alas, 2 other adults joined us making the group 7, even though the max is 6. We would have paid the adult rate for our grand daughter and woukd have paid for a phantom “adult” to have the boat and crew devoted to us and our interests. Just keep this in mind! Nonetheless, we had a great time!

So amazing! We saw lots of dolphins, the tour guides were so fantastic. Wonderful time, would highly recommend!! We saw whales too.

The tour was really nice, we swam with the dolphins twice. After that we saw a turtle and a monk seal too. Unfortunately we found them after 1.5 hours. Ofcourse it’s nature and the tour guides can’t do anything about that. The crew was nice and they gave us good instructions.

Wow! This boat tour is BY FAR the best option. Other companies are cool but they load people on like a cruise ship. This is an intimate experience with chill and knowledgeable staff. 100% worth the extra $20 or whatever it is. Small, local business and great vibes. Enjoy!!
